Israeli troops entered the northern part of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, sparking clashes with Hamas militants. The operation was launched along the coastal route in Beit Lahia and has been met with retaliatory rocket fire from Palestinian forces.
According to local health authorities, 85 Palestinians have been killed in the violence so far. The Israeli military confirmed the start of its ground operation, saying it aimed to “neutralize terrorist threats” in the area.
The Trump administration has expressed full support for Israel’s actions, adding to the escalation of tensions in the region.
